Help Montclair State help our community! Help Montclair State helps our community! The Office of Undergraduate Admissions has partnered with the Montclair Human Needs Food Pantry to support those in need. Undergraduate Admissions has a receptacle in the lobby to collect non-perishable food items and clothing for people who live in Montclair, NJ and other neighboring communities in Essex County. During the winter months, we are specifically collecting new hats, gloves and scarfs. Since our office hosts more than 40,000 visitors each year, there is much we can accomplish with your help.

Visitor Parking

The Red Hawk Deck—our parking facility capable of accommodating 1,100 vehicles—will ensure that access to the campus is easy and convenient. Prospective students visiting the campus who complete an admissions tour will receive a complimentary parking pass at the end of the tour. All other visitors can park at the deck for a small fee.

Open House Dates

Whether you’re a prospective freshman, transfer or adult student, you’ll be able to attend an admissions presentation especially for you and discover all that Montclair State University has to offer.

Undergraduate Open House Programs

Our next Open House will be held in October of 2012 .  However, we do offer multiple opportunities to visit our campus each week.  Please CLICK HERE for more information.
